Deli Tire S-317, Straight Rib Tread, 4 Ply, NHS, Tubeless, Lawn and Garden Tire (11x4.00-5)

What It Is

The Deli Tire S-317 is a 11x4.00-5 straight rib tread, 4-ply, NHS (Not for Highway Service), tubeless lawn and garden tire. It’s designed for front or rear positions on push mowers, zero-turn mowers, garden tractors, and small utility trailers where a smooth, low-vibration ride is needed on turf.

Fitment & Compatibility

Before buying, confirm three things:

• Size: Must be exactly 11x4.00-5 (tire diameter 11", width 4", rim diameter 5"). Measure your existing tire’s sidewall markings—don’t guess.
• Rim: Fits a 5" diameter rim. Check your rim width (typically 3.5" to 4.5")—this tire works best on 3.5"–4.0" wide rims.
• Application: Common on brands like MTD, Husqvarna, Craftsman, John Deere, and Toro. Not for highway use or heavy loads (max load ~330 lbs per tire). Verify your machine’s weight rating and axle clearance—this tire’s diameter is 11", so measure clearance if replacing a different size.

Key Things to Know

• Tread pattern: Straight rib design minimizes turf damage and provides stable straight-line tracking. Not for mud or loose soil—side lugs are minimal.
• Installation: Tubeless, but a tube can be added if your rim leaks. Mounting requires basic hand tools and a tire iron (bead is stiff). Inflate to 20–30 psi max.
• 4-ply rating: Offers good puncture resistance for typical lawn use, but avoid sharp debris or heavy loads.
• NHS warning: Not rated for speeds over 25 mph. Stick to mowing, light towing, or low-speed trailers.

Should You Buy It

This tire is a solid budget pick for replacing worn front or rear tires on residential lawn mowers and garden tractors where smooth, low-impact rolling on grass is the priority. It’s reliable for flat yards and light-duty use, but skip it if you need aggressive traction or plan to run on pavement at speed.
